Whether we may agree with it or not, the State of Massachusetts requires the possession of an FID permit for rifles, shotguns, and even pepper spray or an LTC permit to add handguns to that inventory. This permit is issued by your city or town's Chief of Police. One of the items the Chief will require is a certificate of completion from a state approved safety training course. The course offered here will satisfy those requirements. An FID only option for 15 to 21 year olds is also available with parental concent.
The course will be held on the third Sunday of each month at the Nenameseck clubhouse. Pre-registration is required as class size is limited. The course will run for 8 hours from 8 AM until 4 PM for one day only. The cost for the course is $100. Club membership is not required.
For more information or to register for the Firearm Safety Course, contact Dick Silva at (413) 267-5059 or by email at
. Classes are normally scheduled for the second Saturday of each month. Please check the Calendar of events for the next scheduled class.
